Chapter 362 In the NBA, there is a big devil named Lu Yu
Lu Yu and Marion rested in the final quarter, and the Kings, unwilling to give up the game, immediately replaced Chris Webber.
Weber, the former top power forward, finally started to show off his power. Facing Lu Yu, he was submissive and hit hard with substitute players. He didn't want to do this, but if he didn't take advantage of this time to brush up some statistics, he would be the only one in the meeting after the game.
The Suns held a celebration banquet, but no one dared to eat without him.
In the tiebreaker of last year's Western Conference semifinals, in the last 1.9 seconds, Webb received a pass from his teammate and held a chance of sending the team into overtime, but the basketball in his hand made him a huge joke.
.....The game time reached zero, the Wolf King laughed heartily, and Chris Webber lay on the ground in pain. He once again became a supporting character in someone else's story.
Chris Webber's story begins with failure.
In 1993, he led the Michigan Five to make a comeback. In the last 11 seconds of the Finals, the young Chris Webber called a timeout even after the team had exhausted the number of timeouts, and received a fatal technical foul.
Michigan missed out on the championship.
After entering the NBA, after several changes, Webber came to the Kings.
The Kings, with Chris Webber as the absolute core, became the only team in the league to average over 100 points per game, and slowly emerged as a force that cannot be ignored in the Western Conference.
In the Kings game, Weber and Divac used their excellent high and low post coordination skills to create a large number of off-ball pick-and-rolls, transfer of ball rights, continuous three-pointers, violent dunks, and behind-the-back passes.
Called a visual feast.
The Kings' home court never lacks for exclamations and screams, but Webb and the Kings are always just a little short of success.
They are always just a little bit different!
In the 1998-99 season, Webber met the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs. In the first three games, the Kings took a 2:1 lead. In the fourth game, Stockton's 0.7-second buzzer beater
It also took away their fighting spirit, and the Kings were reversed and eliminated in the tiebreaker.
In the 1999-2000 season, the Kings met the OK combination in the first round. They fought until the fifth game. The Kings were eliminated in the deciding game again, watching the Sharks and Peter Pan win their first career championships.
In the 2000-01 season, Weber reached the peak of his career, averaging a career-high 27.1 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. However, he met the OK combination again in the playoffs, and his youthful
Kobe showed his sharpness and swept the fourth game with 48 points. The Kings stepped on them against the Lakers and started their own dynasty.
Not to mention the following 01 to 02, 02 to 03, 03 to 04.
In the past three years, Lu Yu was in the east and Weber was in the west, taking different paths. Weber witnessed Lu Yu's rise in the east, winning two championships in three years.
Lu Yu also saw Weber kneeling on the ground unwillingly.
Last year, Webber underwent minimally invasive surgery. He had a chance to fully recover from his left knee injury, but for the sake of that elusive championship, he decided to come back early.
But everyone knows that the championship that year must belong to the Bulls and Lu Yu.
Their generation encountered the Lakers' OK combination in the early stages of their careers, and encountered the rise of Lu Yu in the middle of their careers. They could only hope that Lu Yu would fall at the end of their careers.
But Weber couldn't wait any longer.
Since the NBA, he has been defeated by others countless times, but once again let the opportunity slip away from his hands. Losing the tiebreakers one after another, and losing the tiebreakers one after another, was the destruction of Webber's career, both mentally and physically.
At the end of the game, Adelman was too embarrassed to leave Webber on the court to score points.
The Suns finally defeated the Kings 124 to 97. The 124 points was the highest score in a single game this season. The change in the rhythm of the game was blindingly visible. Even ordinary fans exclaimed that the Suns were different.
Lu Yu played 32 minutes and scored a triple-double of 29 points, 17 assists and 12 rebounds, with only one turnover. His 17 assists were also his personal high this season.
Six members of the Suns team scored in double figures, especially Haslem. No one expected that this undrafted player who had not played in the NBA for a year could actually score 23 points and 16 rebounds.
The best performer of the Kings is Peja. He plays like this, tepidly. You can't expect him to win, you can only hope that he will perform stably.
Zhang Weiping said after the game: "The Suns gave me a deep impression today. This is a style of play that has never appeared in the league. This style of play is as gorgeous as the Kings' Princeton system at its peak, but its offense is much better than Princeton's.
It’s faster and more efficient.”
Sun Yiping added: "The key is their defense. It doesn't look good, but in fact, the effect is pretty good."
D'Antoni, who was directing the whole game from the sidelines, was relieved at this time. If he insisted on going his own way and didn't listen to Lu Yu's opinion, he might be fired by the Suns management in a few games.
Although the owner of the Suns is very kind, you must know that they spent so much money to trade Lu Yu this season, not to lose.
If it were just for the Chinese market behind Lu Yu, the Suns owner wouldn't have to pay such a heavy price.
Of course, he hopes that the team will win more. Although they say that the playoffs are their goal, everyone knows that after having Lu Yu, whose goal will be the playoffs.
If he continues to lose, he won't have to be fired by his boss, and the abuse from the fans will drive him away in despair. He will also be ridiculed by countless basketball experts. If he wants to find another job in the NBA in the future, he should not even think about it.
When he kept losing before, many fans already scolded him on the Internet. Now it's better, everything will be reversed.
Fans are like this, winning can cover it up.
Winning can also turn trolls into lickers.
Lu Yu returned to the locker room. Everyone was very happy. After all, no one likes losing. It feels so good to win. Lu Yu gathered everyone together and said with a smile: "Now everyone knows how strong we are, right?
Are you ready to make the entire alliance tremble?"
"certainly!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Lu Yu smiled. He liked the atmosphere in this locker room. Let's set the goal higher together. No one wants to be a loser. A high goal does not make everyone feel that they cannot reach it and then become dejected.
But because of this goal, everyone will burst out with unprecedented strength.
Lu Yu did not say, let us work hard for the championship!
That was a declaration of positive energy. Lu Yu felt that basketball players were essentially a group of men who liked muscle clashes. They were tired of hearing the so-called chicken soup for the soul. In this case, let them be a group of villains.
The Suns' goal is not a championship!
Their goal is to make the entire league tremble!
Everyone laughed, with the smile they had before the prank on their faces. Everyone was like a devil, crying thinking that other teams in the league would be bullied by them. This feeling was great.
The Kings are not a weakling in the league. They beat the Kings by 27 points, giving them enough confidence.
Lu Yu didn't praise his teammates for playing well, or help them analyze where they didn't play well. What he wanted to do was to make his teammates forget the bad feeling of losing before. What they needed to do was to remember today.
, they are going to make the entire league tremble.
At the press conference, Lu Yu and D'Antoni joked.
When a reporter asked what caused such a big change in the Suns.
Lu Yu said: "It's because of Mike. He wants the team to know what it feels like to lose. Otherwise, if the team keeps winning, the players will have the feeling that we are great. In this case, what else can other teams in the league do?"
Happy playing.”
Lu Yu's joke covered up D'Antoni's embarrassment.
D'Antoni knew in his heart that if Lu Yu hadn't reminded him, he might have gone all the way. In fact, in his heart, he always thought that the Suns' lineup was average. Although Lu Yu was there, it was definitely not a good team.
What a great lineup.
But today's game changed his own opinion.
There are no ordinary teams in the league. Every player on each team is one of the hundreds of best players selected in the world. Is there a big gap in strength between the teams?
It's big if you say it's big, and it's not big if you say it's not big.
The biggest difference is actually the coaching tactics of the coach and the execution ability of the players.
Are the Spurs good?
In terms of the strength of the team's players, only Duncan stands out. But why have the Spurs been able to stand in the Western Conference for so many years? Isn't it because of the players' strong tactical execution ability and Popovich, a master tactician?
When being interviewed by reporters, let him talk about his feelings about winning a triple-double.
Lu Yu thought for a while and said: "I think it's okay to get a triple-double. I will often get triple-doubles in the future. Is it Robert who said the historical triple-double per game? I want to try to see if I can average a triple-double this season."
"
The reporters were stunned. How could anyone answer the question like this?
What's more, this is an average of a triple-double per game.
You must know that Robertson has super passing ability, coupled with excellent scoring ability, a triple-double is simply easy for him.
Robertson was the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double in a single season. This statistic was god-like at the time.
In addition, Lu Yu has played many regular season games at this time, and his previous statistics are not very good, making it even more difficult to average a triple-double per game.
The reporters got excited, knowing that tomorrow's headlines would be coming.
They continued to ask questions.
"Can you comment on your teammates' performance today?"
Lu Yu shook his head: "I won't talk about the performance of my teammates. I want to praise my head coach first. He is the best head coach I have ever seen. His run-and-gun tactics are unparalleled. Believe me, as long as we
If we continue to play like this, the best coach this season must be Mike, and even the best coach next season will be him. Of course, the premise is that the league is willing to award the best coach to the same person for two consecutive seasons.
."
After speaking, Lu Yu added another sentence.
"After all, not everyone can win the regular season MVP title like me, right?"
The reporters laughed out loud.
This is not Quade Antony, he is clearly giving himself Versailles.
The reporter asked: "What kind of results do you think the Suns will get this season?"
Lu Yu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what the results are to me. I have already won all the honors I can get. Of course, my teammates and my favorite head coach haven't gotten them yet, so I will help them get them."
These, but this is not important to me, I said, what I want to do is to lead this Suns and make the entire league tremble."
The reporters applauded one after another. They loved Lu Yu so much. Whatever Lu Yu said today was good news material. It was simply great.
Lu Yu actually did it on purpose.
He wants to give the team, himself, and his teammates an image of being a public enemy of the league. Only in this way will his teammates inspire their inner demons and want to slaughter the entire league.
Fuck Chicken Soup for the Soul.
That thing doesn't work.
For men, conquest is the most exciting thing.
The next day, Lu Yu's words indeed made headlines.
Many people felt that Lu Yu was too arrogant, especially those basketball experts who mocked the Suns' previous losses. Lu Yu didn't want to confront them, so he simply let them go during the news interview.
Who knew that now the sight was diverted, they jumped out again.
They feel that the Suns only won one game is a complete coincidence. No team in the league does not win a game in a season. What does winning a game prove?
These basketball pundits completely ignored the Suns' game-changing changes.
Anyway, they just want to spray the sun and Lu Yu!
Lu Yu is too arrogant. Is he going to make the entire alliance an enemy?
There are also many players who have a moderate relationship with Lu Yu who have come forward. When they were interviewed, they said they wanted to beat up Lu Yu. Among them, the most angry one was Marbury.
He played pretty well with the Mavericks, and the Mavericks had a good record, but the ball was a bit lacking in points.
He said he wanted to defeat Lu Yu, because Lu Yu had no ability to rule the alliance.
Lu Yu just responded with a smile, "Let's talk about it when you can play center. Of course you can jump very high, but you just like to raise your legs. I will try this trick next time. I don't know if you will be admitted to the hospital."
"
Everyone was laughing like crazy. Does Marbury dare to challenge?
Of course he wouldn't dare.
No one in the entire alliance knows how powerful Lu Yu is.
On the Internet, Lu Yu has received unanimous praise. Of course, many people have criticized Lu Yu, but these have not affected Lu Yu's popularity to further increase.
More and more fans are starting to vote for Lu Yu online. It is estimated that Lu Yu will be the All-Star vote king again this time.
Previously in the Bulls, Lu Yu had proven his offensive and defensive strength. When he came to the Suns, he no longer needed to prove anything. All he had to do was to make himself feel good and happy, and make the whole league tremble.
.
Now Lu Yu has reached his peak whether it is breakthroughs or shooting, whether it is attacking the basket or long-range three-pointers, whether it is defending the frame or fighting for rebounds.
